Chapter 231: The Blood Lights Killed and No One Was Injured
Although Chu Jiangmian was not dead, he was in a very embarrassing situation. This time it was really dangerous. If it weren't for the soft armor he was wearing close to saved his life, he would have been blown open under the extremely sharp knife.
Wu Jin Ruojia was worn by Queen Mother Jiang Xin himself. When he set out to leave Zhao State, the mother who endured the pain carefully dressed him up and repeatedly told him not to be careless. If possible, she only wanted her son to stay by her side and not let him go to the distance for any adventures.
But she was powerless. She wouldn't even say anything that might distract him. Because she understood his ambitions. Even for the promise she made, her Mian'er had to do her best.
After all, she was just a woman. She couldn't help him too much. Perhaps the only thing she could do was this. When he left his wings to fight in the wind and thunder, she was willing to remove the hardest scales and block the Frost Sword and Han Sword for him.
Just now, the soft armor that Jiang Xin personally put on his son really saved his life. King Zhao, who was messy in the wind, stood up and took a deep breath. While surprised by the assassin's power, he couldn't help but secretly glad that he was still too careless. Even with his keen awareness of danger, he was not alert at all before the knife started. This has to be said to be a profound lesson.
After a while, the people on and off the Peacock Platform finally realized what was going on. Many people reacted from the stunned shock. All kinds of panic and anger were unsheathed, and the guards rushed forward and began to isolate and protect. The people of Qi who had never encountered such an emergency had no idea what would happen next. And what they feared most in their urgency was of course the safety of King Zhao and King Qi.
There is no doubt that under the current situation, no matter what accident happens to any of them, it will be a disaster.
The sand and dust that had been blown by the wind had not yet fallen, and the young master Tian Xiu, who understood what was going on, trembled with excitement. The thought that passed by his heart in an instant turned out to be, Could it be that his curse had come true? There was an assassin who killed Chu Jiangmian at this time... Was he dead?!
However, his huge hope immediately turned into disappointment. When his eyes eagerly searched for the figure, he found that King Zhao was not only safe and sound, but also had long been closely protected by his loyal subordinates.
"pity……."
His whisper came out, and the short two words contained gloating and regret. Although he knew that no one could hear it in such a chaotic situation, he still exposed what he thought.
General Tian Ji, who had spoken to him a while ago, heard it very clearly. However, the royal general who was in charge of guarding the King of Canghai City no longer cared about this. He looked at the assassin not far away with pale face, and was already shocked and terrified.
He once had an impression of this man wearing the uniform of a lieutenant colonel. He just couldn't understand why this unknown guy suddenly went crazy to assassinate King Zhao? After such a thing happened, the calm situation of the King of Qi's court would inevitably be broken. Even if King Zhao and King Qi would not have accidents or were injured, the huge waves that would cause them would be unpredictable.
Like many people present at that time, this general of Qi sensitively predicted the serious consequences caused by the appearance of the assassin. However, their eyes were only limited to Qi, but they did not know that because of the assassin's sudden attack, the whole world would change.
From now on, wars are everywhere, and the nine states are shaking. The country is overturned and the royal family of the princes is destroyed. It is inevitable... A powerful country will officially open its fangs and take the steps of its expansion and annexation!
Ji Zi, after Gan Jiang's sword was unsheathed, was now a little guilty. Even he did not expect that on such an important occasion, someone in the world would be so bold that he would publicly assassinate. If Chu Jiangmian was really injured, he would not know what he was like to go back to see Jiang Xin. He could not bear the sadness of the woman.
The assassin in front of him was indeed powerful. There were not many people in this world who could block Ji Zi’s three swords. Although the other party was retreated by the broken sword in one move, he waved his hands casually, with two short blades in his hand, and amid the crisp sound of swords fighting each other, he actually avoided the deadly sword light in succession.
It seems that this guy who pretends to be an officer of the Qi Military Academy is not simple! But that's it. Ji Zi sneered, the sharp edge of the sword suddenly surged, the assassin's body was stagnant, and amid the pain, the smoke and dust disappeared, and blood splattered everywhere. Ji Zi took a step back, lowered his head and asked lightly.
"Who are you and where did you come from?"
Yaoli, who had been stabbed several times with his arms and legs, could no longer support him. He fell to the ground with a short knife. His body knelt on the peacock platform, feeling unbearable pain in his limbs and bones. The blood from the wounds was flowing out, as if pulling away from his body and life. The sudden appearance of the enemy in front of him was so powerful. He didn't need to ask, and he knew who it was.
"You won't know where I come from... Haha! But I know who you are. Jiangnan Jizi? It's really amazing!"
Yaoli had blood on the corner of his mouth and answered coldly. He regretted it a little. Although he had known that Chu Jiangmian had a master's protection around him, he used such unexpected means to assassinate him. But he still underestimated the other party's power. He did not expect that Chu Jiangmian would be so cautious and cunning. If he hadn't had soft armor protection, that knife would have succeeded.
Ji Zi didn't have the patience to say anything more to him. If he had followed his temper, he would have been beheaded with a sword. But since Chu Jiangmian just asked him to keep a living, he would have been too lazy to meddling in other people's business. Seeing that the Qi army had quickly controlled the situation, and nodded in suspicious movements around him, he turned around and nodded to Chu Jiangmian. Then, he walked aside with his sword.
The thrilling scene that just happened didn't take long. From the assassin drawing his sword to being subdued by Lao Ji's sword, it was only a few breaths.
Chu Jiangmian smacked his lips and gave Lao Ji a thumbs up. The mother asked him to follow him, which was indeed the wisest choice. Seeing that the assassin was seriously injured and it was difficult to cause any threats. He pushed Bai Ye and others who were nervously surrounding him in front of him and came to check the situation of King Qi first.
King Tian Jiang of Qi was surrounded by his ministers and several young masters. He was already old and a little obese. He was frightened just now, and with this chaotic person surrounding him, all kinds of factors added up, he fainted.
Several young men who ran over to show their loyalty at the first time were scared to death. They quickly urged to call the medical officer quickly, while surrounding the King of Qi in a mess, wanting to wake him up.
"Don't squeeze them all here! Let's spread out quickly, the patient needs fresh air..."
In this panic, someone pushed the people away and walked over. Although his voice was not loud, he was very firm. The young master Tian Xiu, who was leaning over to the King of Qi, was not angry. He shook his hand and pushed it back, scolding him without hesitation.
"Get out! Before the medical officer arrives, no one is allowed to talk nonsense!"
After he scolded him, he suddenly noticed something abnormal and seemed to be quiet around him. Tian Xiu raised his head for no reason, but saw the Prime Minister of Qi standing up opposite him wink at him. The eldest son who was trying to make some attempt in his heart suddenly turned around and realized that the person he had just spoken was King Zhao Chu Jiangmian. The other party seemed to have not heard his unreasonable words, and he didn't even look at him. He squatted down and reached out to put his hand on King Qi's wrist. After a moment, his brows frowned slightly.
"The vein of King Qi is stable and there is no serious problem. He was just frightened and was temporarily unconscious. He should be escorted back to the palace as soon as possible, and placed it in a quiet and ventilated place, and will wake up soon."
Lan Lingjun, who followed him, heard Chu Jiangmian's order and quickly agreed. He didn't know why, but he had absolute trust in this young man. The situation was critical, and as a brother Wang, he naturally should take on the responsibility of handling everything. He didn't care about asking Chu Jiangmian in detail if he was injured, but just patted the other party's shoulder heavily, and everything was silent.
Some servants obeyed the order and quickly raised their shoulders, and several medical officials in the palace were also coming urgently. Under such circumstances, the King of Qi could not move easily. And in this space of waiting, the injured assassin had been tied up and was closely guarded by the side. The responsible minister Wang Ting and his men had already taken them to appease the people so that everyone would not have to be nervous, so as not to cause unnecessary panic.
"You... it doesn't matter if you are hurt, where isn't you hurt?"
Chu Jiangmian felt someone pulling his sleeves. When he looked back, he encountered a pair of bright eyes full of concern looking at him nervously. His hands were twisting his collar, and he seemed very uneasy.
"I'm fine. I just can't wear this outfit...haha!"
Chu Jiangmian smiled faintly. He gently grabbed the other person's wrist and signaled her to let go. Princess Wuyou quickly relaxed her hand. Just now, she witnessed the ferocity of the assassin in the distance, and her heart was almost about to jump out. If it weren't for being held tightly by Queen Wuyan, she would have drawn her sword and rushed forward desperately.
"I'll feel relieved if it's okay. The clothes... I'll prepare them for you right away."
Princess Wuyou glanced at Chu Jiangmian again. Seeing that his clothes were broken on his chest, you could imagine how good the assassin's blade was, and finally he felt scared. So he said softly.
"If your father is safe, you can stay in Qi for a while..."
"I'm afraid it won't work. The war in Zhongzhou is rising again, and the plan is about to be disrupted... Alas!"
